Twenty more pounds until goal. I *may* already be shopping for a Christmas dress..

My weight loss seems to be kinda slow since post op... I've lost 17 pounds since surgery on 9/11/17, and lost 14 pounds prior to surgery, for a total of 31 pounds since 8/25. But today I went to Walmart and figured I'd try on some jeans. I have not worn jeans in almost a year. Much to my surprise, I was able to get into a size I have not been able to get into in years. Then when I did the math in jean sizes, I've dropped from a size 16/18 to a size 10!! I just couldn't believe it!! This road is not easy, but seeing the inches coming off by being able to wear clothes I haven't been in was a nice reward. So, sticking with this is so worth it!! Best of luck to everyone out there, and thanks for your support!

Thank you!

I'll have to double my prepping efforts.

I'll be the first one to loot the local Vitamin Shoppe.

Not sure if I need more calories, but I certainly feel voracious hunger and cravings the day before and through the first day. Usually by day 2 I'm back to normal. I've only noticed it because the other ~26 days of the month aren't this way at all. It can sometimes make me feel "weak-willed," but I realize it is hormones, then choose to eat something filling and nutritious. Then I choose to eat a single serving of very good dark chocolate

Went to ren faire this weekend....and my garb was TOO BIG. I put it on, had to take it off and lace everything up completely, as tight as it could go. Still too big. Could put my entire hand in there. Oh well.

Left is around 194. Right is around 300.

6 months post op VSG. Down about 65lbs with another 65-75 to go.

You look beautiful!

Sorry if this was already posted, I tried it Saturday on the app and I don't see it so maybe I did something wrong. I'm a low BMI obese, now out of obesity after only 10 weeks post surgery. So the WL has been very slow. But it's been steady with no stalls. The before was like a day before surgery and I'd already lost 13 lbs on pre op. The after Is now, about 10 weeks after, after only losing 18 lbs. I've also finished one round of Jillian Michaels beginner workouts on her app (8 weeks). I finally went down a size - maybe 2! I'm on the right track.

Thank you!

Woot! Today I reached 100 pounds lost. It is difficult to wrap my mind around. The other day I hauled a 40lb bag of dog food upstairs - and the thought that I have lost 2.5x that amount is both impressive and unsettling. I'm including a screenshot of my before and after SmartBMI calculations. If I'm feeling brave enough, I may post a before and after body shot in the stickied thread.
Thank you to all of you nice folks at BP for being supportive, especially in my more distressed times.
